Practice Exam

Get ahead of the game - try one of our practice questions below.

Case Excerpt:

Your athlete is a 17-year-old male hockey player who went to the ER last night due to a head laceration. He had no other examination and would like to be cleared to play today. The patient reports a little headache around the area of sutures, but otherwise, reports feeling normal. While performing the concussion assessment in the training room prior to the game, you note that during his Romberg test there is significant sway consistently to the right with both double leg and tandem standing.

Question:

As the clinician, how would you continue in the assessment?

Correct answer:

While a positive test should be noted, there may be other reasons for a positive Romberg test besides concussion, such as an old ankle sprain or knee injury. The positive test could help in diagnosing concussion, but should not be used as the only finding to diagnose concussion, and should not stop the exam.

Stop the examination and diagnose the patient with concussion and send him home to rest.

Incorrect: This is a safe approach, but the rest of the examination should still be conducted.

Note the positive test and continue your examination.

Correct – While a positive test should be noted, there may be other reasons for a positive Romberg test besides concussion, such as an old ankle sprain or knee injury. The positive test could help in diagnosing concussion, but should not be used as the only finding to diagnose concussion, and should not stop the exam.

Stop the examination and send the athlete back to the emergency room for further testing.

Incorrect: At this time there is no indication for emergency response

Note the negative test and continue your examination.

Incorrect: Sway during the Romberg test is considered positive, but the exam should continue.
